6.4/10

I really enjoyed my stay at Cathay Hotel. the room was small but had all the necessities I needed, like clean towels. Scott was incredibly accommodating when I asked about an early check-in. The only downside was that the toilet lacked a water hose, which could have made things easier. Overall, it was a great experience!

I didn’t dine in at the hotel, but the menu offered classic Italian dishes which sounded tempting. I'll have to try them next time.
